Happy New Year from Mountain Time. We chased fascist kidnappers out of multiple major cities last year. You are not powerless to resist. Stick by each other and stay safe out there.

The Knives Out and Glass Onion pieces have been popping off since Wake Up, Dead Man came out. Here's the Glass Onion piece where I spend waaaaaay too much time on the napkin: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHpV... (Rian Johnson: hire me to work on knives out movies k thx)

Hey did I just watch Pete Davidson flirt with Alexa in an Amazon ad? Like, the voice assistant thing?

Hey, this is insane, right? Obviously. But also! How in the world does this tech have 800M weekly users and still not turn a profit? Like, every time you corner a CEO/exec over it, they start whining about how not nearly enough people use it. What numbers does this shit need to pull to make sense??

If you’re in the UK & are so inclined, from Dec 25 to Jan 5 you can get the Kindle edition of THE RIVER HAS ROOTS for 99p as part of their 12 Days of Kindle event! This means in the UK you can also get that price matched at other etailers, like Kobo! Merry Christmas! www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/...

Just finished my first book of the past couple months and likely my last of the year: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz! 4/5 That was a delight! Obviously, it was fun to compare it to the movie, but I really enjoyed what never made it into the adaptation! The ending also works a lot better, to my mind.

I just wrote a thousand (kind!) words in response to a reddit post, only to find that a moderator had deleted the post sometime in the middle of writing all that. It may, in fact, have been for the best LOL they saved me from myself!!

The angriest I've ever been at Marvel came in 2017 with the announcement of Marvel Legacy. This itself was a pretty toothless "relaunch" of the line, but it was never lost on me the way it scapegoated non-white and non-male characters for flagging sales that Legacy itself failed to fix.

Jake Paul after that right cross from Anthony Joshua

One of the things that gets me about this whole "replace people in publishing with AI" thing is that people in publishing (translators / editors / copy editors / authors / etc) are among the worst fucking paid people out there.

I can't stop looking at this cover oh my god I'm so excited. Stephanie Brown?? Jon Kent?? Terra?? And, dare I believe it... fucking YARA FLOR???? Wallet, we will figure this out later!

Horses was an uncomfortable game, but an important one. Video games can make you feel things in such a visceral way that other mediums are unable to. I applaud Santa Ragione for pushing the limits of art and making something so unique and challenging in a world that often doesn’t welcome that.

this is my favorite scam text i've ever received

I am so proud of them. the kids did it. they made a new stupid number to say. they may now take their place in history.

hell yeah dude

This year’s Ben Starr meme.

seconding isles of sea and sky. i played it last year and LOVED it, and i mean to get to its Big Update over the holidays. good brain tickler, this one.

spot the Expedition 33 team

Jeffrey Wright is so cool, man lmao

Okay, I've curated my feed to be pretty AI-free, but in the past couple days, I've gotten more of it on TikTok. First of all, TikTok, count your days on my phone lol no thank you. More importantly though, has AI gotten worse? Like, easier to spot? I do NOT remember it being this obvious!

things are getting kinda crazy in the nuggy discord 😏 want in besties? hop in and get your votes sent by 12/15 🗳️ #goty #kfbf #nuggies

Senator, please get Hickenlooper out of my fucking state!

FUCK YES!!!!! Time to start a monthly donation!

Oh nooooo I think I'm one of those folks who don't like Metroid Prime 4 😭

Big -

OHAYOO, SAMMY-CHAN

You know, I'm something of an ex male myself

Currently on the train surrounded by talking people and a guy singing along with this music, thinking about those whiny ass shapes in Is This Seat Taken. THEY WOULD NEVER SURVIVE!

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

There are a lot of important things happening tonight, but I just want to throw in that Denver voted to build a fucking SKATEPARK, dog!!! What a night!!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Once again. #NoKings

Yesterday on Kinda Funny Gamescast, @andycortez.cool @gameovergreggy.bsky.social @timgettys.bsky.social started thinking about their Pokemon Gym Leader teams and I took it upon myself to put together a little something. Bonus @snowbikemike.bsky.social for being the nuzlocke master

It's New Comic Book Day!!! And would you look at that, all my most hyped issues this week are from DC. If you told me at the start of this year that my pull list would look the way it does today, I wouldn't have believed you! But man oh man, everything here is just terrific. READ NEW GODS!!

"One of gaming's best-written, and best-paced narratives"! Here's why you can't afford to miss this one on PlayStation or Xbox.

I binged a ton of Zatanna comics and Greg Rucka's Batwoman in anticipation of DC's Next Level launch, fell in love with both of these characters, and now have to wait SIX MONTHS before either of those characters get their new series. What the hell was I thinking? This is AGONIZING

I KNEW this was going to go hilariously hard lmao

Screaming, crying, throwing up (This is going to become my entire personality)

Time to update my tournament bracket. Annabelle's gonna be King Omega and you can take that to the bank!!

Bring back my girl, Marvel!!!

With Condon's Green Arrow, this was basically a lock already, but I've been reading his and Phillips' That Texas Blood this week and holy shit! What a damn comic; what a damn team! I can't imagine a more exciting project for the relaunch of Vertigo!

No where near as impressive as this, but I wrote an 8 page paper in high school on A Tale of Two Cities the night before it was due. Got an A on that thing. I have never read A Tale of Two Cities. If you need a robot to tell lies for you, then you are simply weaker than me.

The news is out!!! Brutal Dark, the new series by myself and @christophcondon.bsky.social is coming from VERTIGO in 2026!! Meet Ezra Caine, our Nazi-Punching-New-Yorking- P.I!

Never read Trudi Canavan before. Grabbed The Magicians' Guild audiobook on a whim, looking for some old school-feelin' fantasy to listen to while I work. I think this rules?? Am I going on a Trudi Canavan deep dive after this??

Cowards and bigots

This is my Tom Holland Umbrella video.

LIBRARIES RULE!!

I wonder why it's been so hard to find time for gaming lately :/ Surely unrelated, I'm currently walking home from the library with 7 books in my bag.
